world do not grow genetically
engineered crops.

Meanwhile, there are reports that
genetically modified foods will
start selling in Nigeria by 2015.
Channels TV Environmental
correspondent, Ayoola Kassim has
been looking into the benefit of
this technology and has this
report on the impact and potential
of GM foods in Nigeria.
